The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Daming, should a renaissance be set off?

(Well done) Yan Song's heart skipped a beat.

Speaking of the past, Daming did not have the basic conditions to become a renaissance country.

Before Yan Song took control of the state affairs, the Ming Dynasty was economically self-sufficient and feudal small-scale peasant economy, politically the government was monopolized by the bureaucratic landlord class, and ideologically Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism became well-deserved and unshakable. These rules and regulations are enough to make any reformer despair.

But Yan Song was not discouraged. Instead, ants moved mountains and crossed the river by feeling the stones. Starting with the economy that was easiest and Jiajing most supported, he pushed Daming to open up the sea.

After the Ming Dynasty opened the sea, it broke the feudal land economy of the Ming Dynasty to dominate the world economically. With the arrival of a large number of Western merchant ships, the economy of the Ming Dynasty has gradually integrated into the world economic system and gradually occupied a dominant position.

With the opening of the economy, the emerging merchant class began to get rich quickly.

Chapter 1994 Set off the Ming Dynasty Renaissance? 【1】

Upper decision decided by the economic background.

After the rise of the merchant class, political demands gradually arose.After all, they have money, and they need power to protect themselves, so as not to turn themselves into big fat sheep at the mercy of others.

The rise of the emerging merchant class became the embryonic form of the bourgeoisie.

At this stage, at least for the next 300 years, the bourgeoisie is the class that represents progress, and it is the future hope of Ming Dynasty.After all, compared with the feudal system in which one's life is determined entirely by one's status, the bourgeois system in which one's life is determined by one's ability and wealth is much more advanced.

Should I launch a bourgeois renaissance movement to shock people's minds and fundamentally shake the deep-rooted feudal class system?

Yan Song was thinking quickly, thinking about the major events of the Renaissance.

Hey, Kou Baimen, a woman in a brothel, walks the imperial way that only the emperor can walk?Does this subject matter resemble the famous painting "Guiding the People Since 290" that shocked the world during the French Revolution?

Lady Liberty, transformed into a heroine,

Very Renaissance...

Huh?slow down

An extremely bold idea suddenly appeared in Yan Song's mind.

"Liberty Leading the People" is a work by the French romantic painter Eugène Delacroix to commemorate the French July Revolution in 1830.This painting was first exhibited at the Salon de Paris in 1831, and was later collected by the Louvre in Paris.In the painting, the Statue of Liberty wears a Phrygian hat symbolizing freedom, with a bare chest, waving the red, white and blue tricolor flag symbolizing the French Revolution in her right hand, and holding a musket with a bayonet in her left hand, calling on the people behind her to rise up for revolution.

This painting made France a representative of Romanticism.

Today, the story of Kou Baimen capturing the giant thief Li Zicheng alive, and as a lowly citizen, embarked on the Shinto that only the emperor can walk. If it can be painted into paintings and passed on to the world, will it become the great start of the Ming Dynasty Renaissance? work?Could it even cause a shock in the Ming Dynasty (bdbd) society?

You must know that with the widespread spread of the Battle of Fengyang, as well as the help of himself and Jiajing, Kou Baimen has become the idol of the whole people of Ming Dynasty at this time.The name of the heroine spread far and wide overseas.

This, wide to oh.

In Yan Song's mind, this bold idea was quickly generated and confirmed, and a person was recruited to whisper with him.

This person is Xu Wei, Xu Wenchang, the well-known great painters of Daming!

Xu Wei is not just superior in military strategy.In history, he is more amazing in art!

Xu Wei is not only the founder of the "Splash-ink Daxieyi Painting School", but also the originator of the "Qingteng School of Painting". His paintings can absorb the essence of the predecessors and be reborn. Among them, flowers are the most outstanding, creating a style of painting for a generation, which has a great influence on later generations.

Such a great artist is around, why not use it immediately?

Yan Song knows how much a great work of art can have an impact on a country, nation and society.

He recruited Xu Wei and taught him the opportunity to plan and paint this eternal moment and create a great work that ushered in a new era.

After hearing Yan Song's plan, Xu Wei fell into deep thought.

Xu Wei, himself a disciple of Xinxue.The so-called Xinxue is a branch of Confucianism created by Wang Yangming, but it is different from Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism of the hypocritical Taoist Mr. Cheng Zhu who "preserves the principles of nature and eliminates human desires". What Xinxue advocates is to integrate with society and be free and unrestrained. , are deviant.

Therefore, Xu Wei is in favor of abolishing the feudal hierarchy, advocating equality for all, and creating a new situation in the reform of the Ming Dynasty.

Since he coincided with Yan Song's ideas in terms of social reform and ideological liberation, it is even more important for him to create paintings based on Kou Baimen's entry into Beijing's Deshengmen Shinto, as a humble woman, and offering captives to the emperor. I am very excited.

"Mr. Yan Ge, I think that once this painting is created, it must be a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. If Mr. Yan Ge can give this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to me, Xu Wei, students dare not do their best? Try to pass it on to the world? I am afraid that I will do my best. If it is not enough, I have the great trust of the elders."

Xu Wei said impassionedly.

Yan Song nodded: "I don't understand art, so I'll leave it to you. Don't worry about it. You should write down the current situation first, and when you encounter inspiration, let's finish it in one go."

Xu Wei nodded excitedly, took out a pen and paper, splashed ink, and recorded the big scene of Kou Baimen entering Deshengmen, so as to accumulate materials for future creation.

Of course, Kou Baimen didn't know that the fact that she practiced the divine way at Deshengmen would be the beginning of a renaissance that would shock Ming Dynasty and the history of the world.

After that, Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang, the great painters of Ming Dynasty, created a majestic and world-famous painting [Shinto Offering Prisoners], which opened the Renaissance of Ming Dynasty!

In this world-famous painting, Kou Baimen is dressed in white, with a fluttering long skirt, leading the dejected Chuang Wang Li Zicheng, with a heroic and heroic posture, striding forward, walking on the divine way that only an emperor can walk, and entering Germany. Among the winners!

In the distance of the screen, those court officials and scholars are pointing and pointing, and still mocking Kou Baimen's identity...

However, the general public cheered happily and sincerely thanked Kou Nvxia for serving the country and the people and capturing the giant thief.

【Shinto Prisoners】, turned out to be born!

This painting expresses the confinement and discrimination of people's status under the feudal class system, and also expresses the most proud sentiments of the oppressed people, represented by the brave heroine Kou Baimen, towards the feudal class system. Provocation and contempt!

Kou Baimen, who has a lowly status and is at the bottom of the social pyramid, can proudly lead Li Zicheng, the giant bandit and rebel king who shocked the entire Ming Dynasty, to Beijing to offer captives, and proudly walk on the divine way that only the emperor can walk, this picture The profound meaning expressed quickly triggered an extremely fierce debate within the Ming Dynasty, and became the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's liberation of people, emphasis on human nature, and the abolition of the feudal status hierarchy.

Of course, this is a story.
